The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 421

Ye Chenfeng’s sudden emergence intensified the already heated atmosphere. Wester and Jiang Chuan, on stage, saw that Ye Chenfeng was just a young man in his twenties. How advanced could his medical skills be? Besides, although acute gastroenteritis was not a severe disease, curing it within a minute was, in the eyes of these two medical authorities, utterly impossible.

If it were truly possible to make all the medical authorities of Huaxia Country personally admit that traditional Chinese medicine was garbage and to state so in public notices, then the medical community of Huaxia Country wouldn’t just be notorious; it would be a scandal. Wester and Jiang Chuan looked in unison towards Jess and Aoki Koichi, representatives of the medical communities of Country M and the Island Nation, respectively. They nodded slightly, and both felt reassured.

Jiang Chuan looked at Ye Chenfeng with disdain and asked, "Do you think you can represent the medical community of Huaxia Country? If you can represent them, I will accept your bet."

"Mr. Jiang is quite right. We don’t want to play children’s games with you here. Please give us a definite answer!" Wester did not take Ye Chenfeng seriously, maintaining a gentleman-like smile on his face.

At that moment, Duan Nan, the head of the military hospital, stood up. With a booming voice, he announced, "I guarantee with my personal integrity that he can represent the medical community of our Huaxia Country. Now it’s a matter of whether you dare to take this bet."

The medical authorities of Huaxia Country sitting around Duan Nan felt almost nauseous with frustration when they saw Ye Chenfeng stand up and make his outrageous claim. Now even Duan Nan was joining in the madness? They considered Ye Chenfeng to be Duan Nan’s protégé. Even if Ye Chenfeng’s medical skills were on par with Duan Nan’s, it was impossible to cure acute gastroenteritis within a minute. They were convinced Ye Chenfeng was bound to lose. It wasn’t Ye Chenfeng’s loss that troubled them but the reputation of the Huaxia medical community.

"Old Duan, what nonsense are you spouting? He may be your protégé, but that’s not how you should behave as a master. You know this bet is purely designed to disgrace our Huaxia medical community. How can you agree to it?"

"Old Duan, there’s still time to change your mind. The Huaxia medical community has been embarrassed enough for one day—we can’t go on like this. Do you really want to see our medical community fall into complete decline?"

...

The medical authorities of Huaxia Country whispered their persuasions beside Duan Nan, their faces aflame with anger.

Duan Nan remained unmoved. He knew this was an opportunity of a lifetime. His master, Ye Chenfeng, was now ready to make a move and certainly capable of slapping the faces of the medical communities from Country M and the Island Nation, resonating loud and clear. He affirmed again, "He can represent the medical community of Huaxia Country. Now it’s a matter of whether you dare to take this bet."

Jess and Aoki Koichi, representatives of the medical communities of Country M and the Island Nation, exchanged surprised glances. They had interacted with Duan Nan before and didn’t think of him as an irrational person. There must be some trick up his sleeve. Could it be that the brazen young man who had spoken so boldly actually could cure acute gastroenteritis in under a minute? That was absolutely impossible. Even they couldn’t accomplish such a feat, let alone a greenhorn.

Jess and Aoki Koichi again nodded towards Wester and Jiang Chuan on stage. Wester said with a smile, "Since he can represent the medical community of Huaxia Country, I accept the bet."

"I, too, will accept this bet. Curing acute gastroenteritis within a minute? Do you think you have superpowers?" Jiang Chuan made a poorly received attempt at humor with his joke.

Ye Chenfeng approached the stage calmly and steadily while the medical authorities of Huaxia Country again expressed their indignation towards Duan Nan. In their view, Duan Nan was pushing the medical community of Huaxia Country into the fire pit—an utterly irrational act.

"Duan Nan, you must be accountable for what you said today. Do you realize you might become the eternal sinner of the Huaxia medical community?"

"It’s not just a possibility; it’s a certainty. If Duan Nan’s protégé can cure acute gastroenteritis in a minute, I’ll immediately pull my underwear over my head. Our Huaxia medical community’s reputation will be utterly ruined this time."

...

Duan Nan didn’t want to explain anything to these people just yet. Once his master, Ye Chenfeng, had treated the acute gastroenteritis, these old men would naturally shut their mouths, so any additional talking was just a waste of saliva.

"Who does Ye Chenfeng think he is? Can he represent the medical community of Huaxia Country? Can he treat acute gastroenteritis within one minute? Even the medical authorities from various countries can only temporarily alleviate the condition of acute gastroenteritis in a short time, does he think he’s a superhero or something?" Lu Yuanming said in dissatisfaction.

"Siying, do you think Ye Chenfeng really has the confidence to cure acute gastroenteritis within one minute?" the well-behaved Jiang Yumeng asked.

"I guess Ye Chenfeng must have some skill, right? Otherwise, why would Grandpa Duan accept him as a disciple?" Yi Siying whispered into Jiang Yumeng’s ear.

While there was a buzz of discussion among the audience, Ye Chenfeng had already made his way onto the stage. Lu Shengrong, with his pale face, glanced at Ye Chenfeng, and said, "Young man, you shouldn’t make irresponsible remarks. Though our Chinese medicine is profound, curing acute gastroenteritis in one minute, unless an immortal descends from the heavens, is impossible."

"How can you know without trying?" Ye Chenfeng said with an easy smile. The silver needles on the table were already prepared, so he did not need to use the ones he carried with him. He addressed the young patient before him, "I can guarantee your recovery within one minute, lift up your clothes."

The young patient initially wanted to curse at Ye Chenfeng for being so young and presumptuous, but Ye Chenfeng’s tone carried an irresistibility, and he had infused some Soul Force into his words, causing the young patient to falter slightly and involuntarily do as Ye Chenfeng had said.

As the young patient lifted his clothes, Ye Chenfeng had just finished sterilizing a silver needle, holding it between his thumb and forefinger. Soul Force was injected into the needle and with a "chant," the needle trembled slightly, emitting a faint dragon chanting sound.

Because the sound was so faint, only Lu Shengrong, who was closest to Ye Chenfeng, could hear it. Lu Shengrong’s eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, and looking at the silver needle pinched in Ye Chenfeng’s fingers, he murmured to himself, "Dragon Chanting Acupuncture? How is this possible? Wasn’t Dragon Chanting Acupuncture long lost?"

What Ye Chenfeng was performing was indeed the Dragon Chanting Acupuncture, which he had obtained by chance in a world five hundred years in the future. To execute the Dragon Chanting Formation, one must know Qigong, using Qi to lead into the silver needle, while Ye Chenfeng replaced it with Soul Force, which was much more effective than Qigong.

Ye Chenfeng applied the needle. To the onlookers, his movements were fast and yet slow, as if layers of afterimages were forming in the air. Once a silver needle was inserted into the young patient’s abdomen, the patient let out a comfortable sound, and the sickly pallor on his face quickly vanished.

In about forty-five seconds, the young patient suddenly spoke, "I don’t feel pain in my stomach anymore, and my head isn’t dizzy either. It seems like my acute gastroenteritis is really cured."

Without the young patient even speaking, the private club’s hall briefly erupted in excitement. Jess and Aoki Koichi, who had been waiting to see the spectacle unfold on stage, turned pale instantly, muttering to themselves, "How, how is this possible? He definitely couldn’t have cured acute gastroenteritis in one minute."

The medical authorities from Huaxia Country, who had sunk into despair, were reinvigorated one by one. Now they remembered that from start to finish, Duan Nan had been full of confidence; someone like him would not act recklessly. Numerous questions filled their minds, the most intriguing of which was how Ye Chenfeng had managed to turn the tide in just one minute?

Ye Chenfeng removed the silver needle from the abdomen of the young patient and said to Jess and Aoki Koichi, "Don’t forget our wager. From this moment on, neither of you are doctors anymore, and you can no longer practice medicine and treat patients." (To be continued.
